re: Is racism & bigotry more of a generational thing?

You little shits are the most annoying, groupthink, nonoriginal generation in American history.

i think you're just getting old pal

I think it helps them validate their feelings that they are better than their parents.

You'll be alright

True racism, the belief that your race is inherently superior to another on that basis alone, is a dying mindset in our culture predominantly held by older generations.

Most of what gets labeled as "racist" by millenials and the left these days is not true racism however. Saying African Americans are better at basketball and commit more crimes as a percentage of their population than whites isn't racist for instance, they are just facts. Just like saying most white collar criminals are Caucasian and most illegal immigrants are Hispanic.

Acknowledging statistics and macro trends is not racist and doesn't mean one thinks a given race is inherently superior.

But according to the last census, America is 72.4% white and 12.6 black, there's no way more of the white race would be criminal than that of the black race, it's impossible anything other than an anarchic society.

Also, whites are more likely to be of a domestic terroristic threat by percentage and historical data, but that is pushed upon those of middle eastern descent so...?

He's being facetious.

Now, as a young black man, this is how I always saw it. It's not generational. It's not restricted to color. It's either taught or its acquired through living. I've been called the N-word by a 3-year-old white girl, as sweet as she wanted to be. I couldn't even be mad. She has no idea what all that encapsulates, BUT she was TAUGHT what it meant, cause she obviously used it on me.

All lashing out on this board doesn't mean yall are racist, but you only talk negatively on this younger generation of white millennials because they have obviously embraced some of black culture. The world is inclusive, and that's been happening as long as slaves were being shipped over so its nothing new.

What's funny though is? How many millennials are in any House or Senate, Presidency, Governorship or have big money tied up in interests that will keep them from voting for right over self? Young and naive to older whites, open-minded to the rest of the world. It's not that they have been brainwashed or have self-hate, they just actually listen and stop trying to justify wrong as right, just because that's the way they want it or that it benefits them and I'm sorry to say that's how it should be.

If any of you all, young or old knew what it was like to be Black in America, now or 50, 100, 200 years ago, you'd quickly turn back. It's much better for us, I won't lie but if we didn't and still don't fight for any of it, it's not a given that it's our right to have anything.
